From all the reports we hear AND
read in our State exchanges, the farmers
of North Carolina have never given as
much attention to the subject of Home
made manures as they are giving this
year. This is an encouraging sign.
The farmers aim should be to make
his home bright, cheerful and attractive,
not simply a place to stay in but a place
to lie in, and when we say live we mean
to enjoy life-for the man or woman who
does not enjoy life does not live much.
Hon. Owen R. Kenan, father of ex-
Attorney General Thos. S. Kenan, died
at his home in Duplin county, last Thurs
day, aged SO years. He was a prominent
citizen, served one term in the Confed-
crate congress and in 1886 represented
his county in the legislature.
The largest nugget of pure gold

largest, as far as known, was an Austria

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER
MUST THINK.

There is no department of human
industry which affords the same
scope for thought and experiment as
the farm, and no department where
thought is more essential to
The thinking farmer may not always
succeed, for rererses may come to him
against which ns human foresight
could guard but the farmer who
does not think ~nevercan succeed in
the long rhn, and if temporarily he
does, it will be the result of mere
chance. There are farmers who
think, not enough Of them, farmers
who do not think, too many of them.
The former are increasing somewhat
as the world grows older and wiser.
There is more brainwork on the
farm to-day than there was ten
years ago, there is less to-day than
there will be ten years hence. By
thinking farmer we mean the man
who gives thought to his business
and studies it. One may be reasona-
bly, we'll informed in a general way,
may keep posted on the current
events Of the day and be regarded
as an intelligent man, and yet plod
along as so many do in the old foot
beaten paths that his fathers trod
for generations before him, but he
learns nothing and teaches nothing.
He thinks, but he thinks about some
thing else than the farm. The think
err does not travel in the beaten path
alone, but strives for a better way,
for something new. He goes into
natures laboratory and as a student
studies and familiarizes himself with
her laws, her methods, and he carries
with him into practice what he
learns there. He a give a reason
for what he does, and knows what
he is doing. He knows what he
plants, when to plant it, where to
plant it, and how to care for and
nourish it when planted. He knows
just what he is doing and why he
does it. He knows the chemical
constituents of the plant he cult
Yates, and the chemical constituents
of the soil he puts it in, just as the
physician knows the component
parts Of the prescription he makes
for a patient. There is no guess
work about either. He takes pleas
ure in his work, is proud of his pro-
fession, and his profession is, or
should be proud of him. 1t is to
him, and such as he, that the world
is indebted for the progress made in
the science Of agriculture.

Teachers OF Turner County.

According to promise given last
week we will now consider some Of the
reasons why you may feel sure that it
will pay you to attend the institute.
The first reason (as mentioned betore)
is that part of the Oct. examination
questions will be based on work done
at the institute. Another reason for
coming applies especially to the ad-
vanced grade OF teachers, and is, that
instruction will be given to this class
which is adapted to aid those who in
tend soon to apply for first grade certif-
Gates.
Another reason why all teachers of
the county should come is that we shall
probably have at least two meetings
during institute week for Reading Cir
Gle work. This will enable us to learn
how much has been done in this line
during the past school year. to make
out program for the ensuing year,
and to establish complete organiza-
tion for thorough work throughout the
county. In this connection provision
will, it possible, be made to enable
teachers in remote parts of the county
to make out Reading Circle programs
adapted to their situations. The writer
hopes to be able to name the exact date
Of the institute in next weeks papers.
